Wine Profile
Production Notes
The first pick of the 2021 season was our Pinot Noir which was harvested in late August. Using two Dijon clones - 115 and 667 - each was made as
separate lots to increase the unique clonal differences which were then blended to create a well-rounded expression of Pinot Noir. The 2021
vintage was bottled early to retain a fresh, crisp quality that pairs well with food. Aged 7 months in a combination of 40% new French oak, 20% neutral
oak and 40% stainless steel.
Winemaker Notes
2021 began with a dry spring followed by a hot summer which led to an early harvest. The sugars in the fruit developed quickly and the tannins
matured nicely. As a result of the summer heat and low water accessibility by the vine, the berries were medium sized with concentrated flavors and a certain freshness which helped create deeply flavored and balanced wines.
